Bella's POV "Boo!" Francisco tapped my shoulder from behind. I turned to her; smiling wildly."How was the test?" I asked her."It was very awesome. Thanks to you" She said."What about you?""Not bad as well," I told her and she smiled then she said; "What a relief""Uhn, why did you say that?""I didn't see you write anything, your head was on your desk. I thought something was wrong with you, I kicked your seat but I couldn't even get your attention " She said."Oh," Oh My God I was so engrossed with looking at Peter."I was already answering the test, so I..errm took a brief diverted reflection " I told her then I saw Peter walking towards me."Uhm... Francisca, let's go to the library" I stood up and told her..holding her hands already; to make her feel how urgent I wanted to leave the classroom at that moment."The library? Why?""Because errm... I have never been there. I mean I have but that was during the school tour" I said looking at Peter as I spoke to Francisca."Oh,
Bella's POV As usual, we took our seats in the cafeteria, I acted as if everything was normal but looks like Francisca didn't still believe me...while we were eating our meal, she kept staring at me suspiciously which made me feel uncomfortable.I just had to break the silence by starting with an entirely different topic but Francisca interrupted me before I could even speak. "Uhm...are you hiding anything from me Bella?" She asked me. "Uhn, no. Why did you ask again?" "Hmmm, never mind. I mean I'm just concerned; about being your only friend." She said. "You and Francis, yesterday...or wait is it this morning, it started. Tell me already" I urged her. "I told you before Bella, I really don't know. I mean I slept off last night" She said then she started into the space and said; "But hold on..." "What is it?" "After coaching him last night, he said he wanted to speak to me; that was when I napped off " "You don't remember anything else?" "I do not
Bella's POV "Do you live in Peter's house then?" Francisco asked me. I was dumbfounded for a while. "Bella" She called out my name. "Yes I am..." I stuttered.."I am living with Peter" I finally confessed. "What? you know, I sort of had that hunch but I never want to believe.." She said but I looked at my feet, kinda panicking. "Why are you living with him?" She questioned me... I began to bit my finger but before I could say a word, she blurted; "Wait! Couple's life?" "No Francisca" I muttered "Yes, you guys are of course; no couple. If you live with Peter, then why won't you..." "Francisca, keep it a secret please. Jeez! I don't have the nerves to tell everyone yet" "What secret? What don't you have the nerves to people? Is it that you and Peter are living a couple's life whenever his parents are absent?" She said again. "No, no.." I shook my head. "Then what..." "I.... I am Peter's housemaid" I finally confessed to her. "What?" She exclaim
Bella's POV I spent more time with Francisca, she promised to do her best in protecting me from Monica "Let me guess, Monica exact threat was that if or whenever you interact with Peter, she'll tell the whole world your true identity?" Francisca spoke to me while moved to our usual table. "That's right. Arrrrgh!" I "That explains why Monica is clinging around him now" She said and I eye searched for both of them. Monica wrapped her hand around over his neck, he took them over but she did it over again. "Monica has always been clinging around him" "Yeah, it just worsen" She caught me staring at them, so I took my eyes off them quickily and sat down with Francisca. "I feel for you and Peter" "Huh?? What do you mean? " She literally ruin everything for you guys" Francisca said emphasising the last word 'Everything'"I'm fine, at least I'm managing.. Monica can only stop me from talking to Peter here in school, not at home or maybe when she'
Bella's POV "Hi darling" Monica came over, sat in front of me and smiled at me wickedly. What does she want this time around? "Hi" I rolled my eyes and ate my snacks slowly; trying to avoid her and acting like I do not care about whatever she wanted to say to me. "Oh wow! You have the nerves now! Did you just roll your eyes at me?" I didn't say anything. "Okay, I can see you have been avoiding Peter; just like I have told you but uhm, it's not enough for me to decide whether to reveal your identity to everyone or not" She continued to smile wickedly. Who does she really thinks she is? Does she really think she can control me anyhow she wants? Geez, I needed to be like Francisca. "Are you trying to blackmail me or what Monica?" I voiced out. "You call that Blackmail?" "You are threatening me! Haven't you had enough already?" "Oh no, I haven't" She responded. "Well then, go ahead and tell everyone." I said.. I swear, I didn't know
Bella's POV We acted like everything is normal between us; Of course everything is normal. We haven't just completely fixed the bond I broke when I changed towards him. Why do I fill like he has been staring at me since that saturday morning. "Hi" He said when I set his meal in front of him on the table. I looked at his face, only to see him smiling.. I smiled too. "...Hi" I managed to say to him back. "No hiding today, you are gonna eat on the dining table here with me" "Hmmn Okay" I replied without hesitating. I returned to place my food on the table too and sat right in front of him. We ate silently yet it felt really awkward, I felt like popping up the question.. 'What's wrong with us?' Yeah, we are acting somehow. "My mom is coming home tomorrow but my dad, I don't even know. He is an absolute workaholic" He announced while we were eating. "Oh... Your mom would be at home tomorrow?" "Yeah she called me today. It's surprising
Peter's POV The serene became calm. I was a little bit shy, I was avoiding to look into her eyes because she was already staring back. I summoned up courage to face her. Her eyes caught mine and I mistakenly gulped down my saliva. This feeling.."I ..Uhm..." I broke the awkward silence. The door bell rang interrupting the sweet serene too. "Are you expecting anyone?" I asked her. "No" She shook her head. "Probably your usual unexpected visitor, Monica" Bella said. "No... I spoke with Monica earlier" "Sure you did" She nodded like she meant something. "She..she's with Vincent" I stammered trying to proof to her that I do not have feelings for Monica...'cos it seemed she thinks so. "Okay!" The door bell rang again.. "I'll go get the door" She said, already walking towards the door. I stood there, wondering who it was. Monica? Could it that she already know the plan? Jeez! "Mother" Bella exclaimed as she opened the door. Oh H
Vincent sat by the restaurant window side; eagerly waiting for Monica's arrive. For a minute, he doubt if his friend, Peter really told Monica to come over. He dressed in his best casual clothes, all to look good for her. After some minutes, he sighted Monica rushing into the restaurant. At first; he smiled then frowned; realizing that she Rushed down here because she thinks she was gonna meet Peter. Monica looked so kinky, she wore a beautiful off shoulders blouse almost revealing her boobs and a Mini matching skirt. She wore some powder too; looking as beautiful as ever. Monica looked around, in search for Peter; she suddenly sighted me, ignored me for a while then looked around again. "Hey Monica" I waved to draw her attention back to me again. She smiled and walked over to me innocently. "Hi Vincent" "Hi.. Monica.." I stuttered. "You are looking so beautiful" I complimented, to my greatest surprise, she blushed. "Am I?" I nodded.. I didn't kno
